I think it’s not just jealousy over volume, because some guitarists like to belittle Banjos because they don’t like to accept that they are actually harder to play. Anyone who has tried playing bluegrass or melodic clawhammer on the five string, or for that matter jigs and reels or chord melody style on the tenor banjo, will know that it requires greater musical knowledge and prowess than is required to strum cowboy guitar chords. Stop me when this starts to sound elitist....
